[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 427203, member: 4264"] Jena, in my PM, I forgot to mention footwear. You mentioned it is hard to stay on your feet etc. For me, when my legs are really spastic and tight, I have learned to ALWAYS wear my shoes. I wear ONLY good quality, well made, super light weight and supportive trainers. (My current pair are New Balance). I have a pair for just the in the house because when my legs feel that way, the support on my feet arches and the posture it creates or something somehow really does provide major relief from leg issues and helps it not spiral out of control. So even indoors I wear the shoes. Nothing but my trainers touch my feet except when needed absolutely for dress purposes. Even then, anything tight, or with a heel is not my friend. I did wear high heel black boots with my dress pants to a meeting last week, I always feel confident when I'm dressed up. But I stayed off my feet as much as possible. Put boots on only when ready to leave, walked as little as possible in them, took them off the instant I was home and put my trainers on. I have never heard so many gasps of joy like from others with MS when they get on board the "shoe train". Women and shoes, right? It's a tough pill to swallow. But boy our bodies thank us. for me I'd rather feel good and capable of movement without pain than be the hieght of fashion lol. [/QUOTE]
